Goldendoodle Stares at Dad in Pure Disgust When His Food Doesn't Come With 'Extra Toppings'
Both of my dogs are pretty flexible when it comes to food. If it's edible (or even if it isn't), chances are they'll eat it. There have been times when they turn their nose up at something new, like if I try to introduce a vegetable or throw in some bland white rice. Other than that, my fur babies aren't that finicky.
This Goldendoodle seems to have higher standards than my dogs and gave his dad a hard time when he didn't get some extra goodies on top of his regular meal.
@chrisgiaimo He will refuse to eat unless he gets a little extra on top. He prefers whip cream or a pinch of parmesan cheese #goldendoodle#doodle#dogsoftiktok
Funny - Gold-Tiger
In the TikTok from @chrisgiaimo, the Goldendoodle sat at the entrance of the kitchen with an obvious look of displeasure on his face. The dog was clearly disgruntled about something and wasn't afraid to show it.
"Anybody else's dog just sit there staring at you in disgust after you give them food if you don't put some extra toppings on it?" the onscreen text asked.
The Doodle's expression spoke volumes about his disappointment with dinner. He was obviously trying to make his dad feel guilty for depriving him of an upscale dish. Apparently, the precious pooch prefers items of a dairy variety.
"He will refuse to eat unless he gets a little extra on top," the caption revealed. "He prefers whipped cream or a pinch of parmesan cheese."
Followers related to the dog parent's dilemma and shared their own stories.
"I have to give mine a piece of chicken and then she'll eat. I created a monster," one admitted.
"Two toppings minimum or else…," another shared.
"My doodle loves a sprinkle of cheese!" a follower remarked.
"My Brittany wouldn't take a chicken nugget if you didn't do it first," someone noted.
How to Cope With a Dog Who's a Picky Eater
Some dogs are more selective than others when it comes to meals. If your pooch is on the picky side, get them evaluated by your vet to make sure there isn't an underlying health issue.
If your fur baby is just fussy about their food, there are some ways to encourage your dog to eat well:

- Keep meals on a schedule for consistency and better digestion.
- Limit treats and table scraps to avoid overeating and to make sure they are hungry at meal time.
- Set up a comfortable, calm environment for feeding times that are distraction-free.
- Make sure your dog's bowls are clean for every meal.
- Warm up their food to enhance the flavor.
- Add dog-friendly toppings to make their meals more appetizing.
With time and patience, your dog can learn to be more flexible with their taste preferences. Hopefully this Goldendoodle will be a little more forgiving at his next meal.
